Artifacts

Praise for Artifacts..."The shifting little isles along the Florida Pan- handle-hurricane-wracked bits of land filled with plenty of human history-serve as the effective backdrop for Evans' debut, a tale of greed, archeology, romance and murder." -Publishers Weekly Faye Longchamp has lost nearly everything except her deter-mination to hang onto Joyeuse, a moldering plantation hidden along the Florida coast. No one knows how Faye's great-great-grandmother Cally, a newly freed slave barely out of her teens, came to own Joyeuse in the aftermath of the Civil War or how her descendants hung onto it through Reconstruction, world wars, the Depression, and Jim Crow. But Faye has inherited the family tenacity. When the property taxes rise beyond her means, she sets out to save Joyeuse by digging for artifacts on her property and selling them on the black market. But instead of pot shards and arrowheads, she uncovers a woman's shattered skull. If Faye reports the 40-year-old murder, she'll reveal her illegal livelihood, risk jail...and Joyeuse. So she probes into the dead woman's history, unaware that the past is rushing toward her like a hurricane across deceptively calm Gulf waters...Mary Anna Evans has degrees in physics and engineering, but her heart is in the past.
